Thanks


if you are putting the foamboard against the wall first (you should
be), then it isn't a problem since it will press right into the foam.
then you true the studs on their own.


The forms had a hole in the middle about 1.5" dia. that the concrete
started to ooze out of to form small round protrusions about 1/2" out
from the wall (some as far as an inch) exactly in the middle of the
form. I thought the best description was a nipple.
